• Camping in Brittany: read more here

  Brittany is a beautiful part of France. Situated on a peninsula between the English Channel to the North and the Bay of Biscay to the South, Brittany has a long history with some extremely significant and well known cities. Nantes, Brest and St Malo are all within the region of Brittany which was once a separate duchy or kingdom. Located on the west coast of France, Brittany has a sunny warm climate. Rainfall is common which helps to keep the countryside lush and green but summers are warm and sunny days are frequent. Temperatures are moderate all year round generally reaching a high of thirty degrees Celsius in the summer. This makes it a perfect destination for camping.

  The majority of the campsites are situated around the coastline. Most provide, or at the very least are located close to, attractions and activities such as wind surfing, canoeing, sailing and surfing. Tennis courts, horse riding and golf are all close by and easy to book, and there are plenty of routes for those keen on walking.

  Some of the campsites have children’s entertainments including kids clubs and go karting whilst the adults can go off and do their own thing. There are also wine tasting, chateaux and theme parks to visit or partake in.

• Go to Wales, go camping

  If you fancy staying in mainland Britain for your summer holidays why not explore Wales. This may be a small country but it has a lot to offer. Whether you commune with the puffins and seals on the Isle of Anglesey or go climbing in the Brecon Beacons, there is something for everyone. The UK Campsite website is a great place to start. It lists all campsites in each area and gives details of facilities and services. We love the St Davids Park campsite and caravan park in Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey. The beach is enormous and is wide open sand. There is simply stacks of space for kids to run around, beach rounders or cricket and for the dogs to race around. Or if you just fancy a good walk to blow the cobwebs away, that’s all in order too.

  The campsite itself has its own stretch of beach, a private boat yard and boat ramp down to the water. The views from the park are breathtaking, overlooking Snowdonia National Park and Mount Snowdon. The onsite facilities include a shop, children’s play area and a tavern. Local attractions include golfing, walking, fishing, cycling, birdwatching and exploring the wealth of history that Anglesey offers. You could also take the Sea Cat from Holyhead for a day trip to Ireland.

  Visit the St Davids Park website for more information.

• French Camping

  French campsites have not always had great press. With the assumption that the toilets will be holes in the ground we finicky Brits have turned our noses up. We are happy to say however that this is not the case. Not only is the weather generally a darned site better in France, but the facilities on the campsites are usually of an extremely high standard. The official website for camping in France is a wealth of information on different campsites, how to get there, what to do once you are there and what to expect in terms of facilities, services and amenities. Shower blocks, toilets and communal areas are always clean and well kept and it is pretty standard for campsites to have at least one swimming pool especially in the more southern reaches of the country.

  With such a variety of regions, France has something for everyone. Whether it’s the beaches and glitz of the South of France, the mountainscapes of the Pyrenees or the wine regions of Burgundy and Champagne you are bound to find a part of France that appeals to you. If you are after a more historical theme to the holiday why not camp on the Northern Beaches and visit the Normandy Landings.

  France is a huge country with a wealth of history and beauty. A camping holiday is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture and for the whole family to learn more about the place.
